Death Lilly teaser!!!

Death Lilly comes out in less then 3mths so here I thought I would share a little snippet from the first book with you all. Please be aware this is taken from my rough draft copy and there may be some slight changes.

Five months later…

The bath was full as I stripped off the silk
crimson robe. Steam rising making the bathroom fill with a soft fog that smelt
like lavender and dark chocolate. Gently lowering my aching body into the hot
water watching as the steam rose up off my skin.

I grabbed my iPod, placing the
headphones on top of my head as I sank deeper into the water. Closing my eyes I
allowed the music to invade my mind. My head beginning to throb with the beat
of my music as the heat took effect.

Watching as the blood trickled
gradually down from the puncture marks which tarnished the prefect ivory skin
of her unclothed body. My mouth opened yet not a single sound escaped my lips,
as I tried in vain to scream. The young naked woman shook out her long blond
hair. Her smile transformed into something sinister as if to tease me. I was
utterly confused and completely incapable of taking my eyes off her. I hated
having these dreams.

For the last six months it had
been the same kind of dreams that plagued me during the night. They were
disturbing, always a girl being seduced by the serpents while the men in the
beast masks silently begged for me to come and play with them. Closing my eyes
tightly, I wished to wake up.

Instead I opened them in time to
take in the way she was bound by her wrists to the giant tree. Two young men
wearing bronze bull masks danced around her, slicing at her bare skin with the
tip of an ancient dagger. I knew from previous dreams that they had no
intention of killing her but they gave the impression that they wanted to see
her bleed. Her rich red blood, dripped down the pale translucent skin, like tiny
little rivers of wine.

Sweat dripped down and over my skin as the
men tempted me to come closer toward them, though I could not.I was frozen in place. Unable to move, although
my mind was desperate to flee. They called my name, begging me to open my eyes.

And because I think you are all fantastic here is a little snippet from book two ;)

“Who else dear… Did you think I
was dead? Did you think I wouldn’t search for you?”

I didn’t reply. How could I, he
didn’t want to hear my answers, all he cared about was himself. I could hear
him snicker as those dark, dead eyes stared down at me. Pinching my arm I
begged to wake up. To exit this nightmare that had claimed my sleep.

“It won’t work, no matter how
hard you pinch or beg you can’t leave this dream until I want you to and right
now I don’t want you to go anywhere!”

“I’m not talking to you, I hate
you!” I yelled.

“Hate me… No, I don’t think you
hate me, I think you hate that you picked the wrong side. Who is going to save
you now? Huh? You need me Lilly.”
